BTES3 | Put the Learning Before the Technology (Room SOUTH 310EF)

Technology can accelerate and enhance learning in powerful, meaningful ways, but does not have standalone value without relevant learning objectives, strong pedagogy, and a clear sense of why we are using the technology in the first place. If schools are going to make the most of technology, we must put the learning first. What are the key objectives of global education, the essential outcomes we hope to help all learners achieve, and the current challenges to overcome? What are our strategies for helping students become innovators, critical thinkers, and collaborators? In this panel discussion, a diverse group of experts will analyze these key considerations and articulate a plan of action for putting learning before tech.
